Bare minerals make up is marvelous not so much for the bare minerals but rather for the natural looking makeup colors that they pre-select. Color is the secret to flawless makeup. Choose natural beige and tan shades to look a decade younger

Bare minerals make up

The popularity of mineral face makeup such as bare minerals make up has continued to rise as women look for the most natural makeup products for their aging skin. One of the features touted by the mineral makeup brands is the natural organic mineral ingredients in the makeup. They say this agrees with sensitive skin and I’ve even heard the slogan that it’s so natural you can sleep in it. Well, you don’t want to sleep in your makeup no matter how natural it is!

I use a very light pass of moisturizer, concealer, and liquid foundation on my face first. Then, I use the mineral makeup to add some natural color and it sets the underlying makeup for a flawless finish. Since I already have a light makeup application on my skin before I ever use the mineral makeup powders, the mineral ingredients aren’t going directly on my bare skin. Therefore, it really doesn’t matter to me whether I buy bare essentials brand makeup or a cheap discount mineral makeup alternative. Most types agree with my skin and to me it doesn’t matter much.

That being said, I totally love mineral make up brands not for their ingredients but rather for the natural looking colors. The greatest thing about mineral make up is that the colors are generally super natural looking earth tone beige’s and tans. I love that. Natural colors are the beauty secret for an anti-aging makeup effect on an older woman. So, consider trying out some of these mineral makeup brands not so much for the ingredients but for the beautiful natural looking colors. You can try the expensive mineral make up brands like bare minerals, or (if most cosmetics agree with your skin) buy discount mineral makeup from a store like Wal-mart.

Flawless celebrity makeup secret

Mineral make ups tend to come in very natural looking makeup color choices. This is fantastic for older woman who want beautiful younger looking faces. I am going to give you a really big beauty tip for a flawless makeup look. This concept cannot be underestimated: The larger the expanse of smooth continuous colored skin on your face, the younger your face looks. Think of your facial skin as cosmetic real estate. In those terms, you definitely want the modern, clean and neat, sparse style to your makeup décor. The more obvious the makeup colors and variations (the more crowded your face gets with different visual distractions) the older it looks.

Examples of flawless looking skin that illustrate the effect that I am talking about are shown in the photograph. You should be able to see how having a continuous and smooth skin tone contributes greatly to a flawless more youthful look.

The clean makeup look: uniform continuity

Flaws make you look unfortunately older. Apply a moisturizer to smooth visible wrinkles. Use concealer to conceal age spots and darkly discolored skin. Avoid messy makeup. If you can see the blush lines where you applied it, you wear bright lipstick, or you have smeared or runny eye makeup, it essentially dirties up your facial canvas. If you can see wrinkles, age spots, splotchy spots or obvious blush, your matte face look is wrecked (see photo example).

Try mineral makeup for their colors

A uniform facial skin tone really helps you look flawless. You always want the smoothest matte facial canvas you can possibly get. Other than the makeup you will put on your eyes and lips, you want your skin tone to be as smooth, natural looking, and as continuous in color around your face as possible. The more continuous the skin tone is, moving in a circle from your forehead to your cheeks to your chin, the better your flawless makeup effect.

Using mineral makeup for a flawless anti-aging makeup finishing effect

I always start my makeup off with a light moisturizer (works as a primer before I apply the makeup), a blemish concealer in a light color to cover my skin flaws, then a light coat of liquid foundation to even out my skin. After those steps is when I use the mineral makeup. Essentially I am using the mineral makeup as a combination finishing setting powder and cheek blusher. This works great to set the underlying makeup and finish my makeup look off. It adds that flawless finish to the skin and the colors are always wonderful and natural looking. Some women skip the concealer and light foundation and only use the mineral powders which I think is a mistake on older women. The mineral powder alone won’t give you flawless looking skin but it can definitely help finish it nicely.

My recommendation is to buy two powder mineral make ups in close shades of natural color tones. Try to buy one color that matches your skin exactly and one color just one shade darker for a golden glow. You should also have a large jumbo blush brush for each color. As they recommend in the commercials, you can shake up some of the mineral makeup, swirl the brush and then tap the excess off before applying.

Apply the closest matching mineral makeup powder in a circular pass over your face (at this point I’ve already applied blemish concealer and light liquid foundation to my face). Keep the circle to the outside as you don’t want to deposit too much makeup near your nose, upper lip area or under eye wrinkles. Then blend and blend gently into your entire face with the brush so that you can’t tell the makeup is there. Do another pass with your secondary color focusing more on your cheeks to add a hint of natural glow. Again, gently blend like crazy.

The result should give you a continuous, flawless natural finish. Mineral make ups are great because the colors are always natural looking and perfect for creating a finished flawless effect. You can buy one or two shades and use the mineral makeup powders to set your makeup and give you a natural, esthetically pleasing, continuously uniform skin tone with a hint of golden color. Try the mineral makeup powders out, you might really like them. I hope you enjoyed this flawless makeup tip.

Mineral make up is marketed for natural mineral ingredients but I like it for the natural color shades. The beige and tan spectrum makeup are fantastic anti-agers for a mature face!
